\f0\b0 \ulnone \
-When you download VLC media player, you will end up with a VLC-0.5.x.dmg file. Double-click, or drop it on the application Disk Copy, to open this file. An icon will now appear on your Desktop, right beside your drive(s). Open it and drag the VLC application from the resulting window to the place where you want to install it. Most often this is the directory Applications on your main harddrive.\

+3. How do I read a CD/(S)VCD/DVD ?
\f0\b0 \ulnone \
-VLC media player is currently unable to read SVCD directly from the drive. SVCDs contain plain MPEG-2 files which can be directly read. Just copy the .dat files in the SVCD onto your hard drive, and use the "Open File" menu item in VLC. Some SVCDs can be read if you tell VLC they're VCDs, in the "Open Disc" dialog.\
+To view a (S)VCD, DVD or Audio CD, you will need to choose "Open Disc" from the "File" menu. Choose your disk type and then choose the drive in which you inserted the disk. VLC media player is currently unable to read SVCD directly from the drive. Some SVCDs can be read if you tell VLC they're VCDs, in the "Open Disc" dialog.\
\

\f1\b \ul 4. The video is choppy! It's like we're dropping frames.\
-\f0\b0 \ulnone That's the normal behavior when the CPU isn't fast enough to decode all frames. Though there is some room for improvement, don't ever expect VLC to be able to decode MPEG-2 streams or high resolution DivX on a low-end G3 machine. Apple DVD player uses specific hardware accelerations from the video board of those systems, and we currently lack documentation to do the same. If you think you have information which might help us, please contact us, otherwise please don't complain about this.\

If VLC media player is slow on your G4 system, try to quit or hide all running applications. See with
\f1\b \ul 6. Where can I find an older version for Mac OS 9 ?\
-\f0\b0 \ulnone There is no version for Mac OS 9. VLC is originally a UNIX application and has never been ported to Mac OS 9. Considering the amount of differences between Mac OS 9 and modern systems, it would require a tremendous work to port VLC. We do not plan to do it, because we prefer to focus on creating a very good Mac OX X application. So please don't ask.\

\f1\b \ul 9. Support for files with subtitles.\
-\f0\b0 \ulnone Support for subtitles in separate files is still very much in a testing phase. DVD subtitles can be used trough the Controls->Subtitles menu-item.\
-- Subfiles need to be opened at the same moment as the video to which you want to add subtitles. You can do this in the File->Open menu.\
-- As of yet it is not yet possible to adapt the font, size and/or position of the subtitles.\
-- You need to specify the subtitle when you open the file.\
-- A subtitle is global instead of bound to a playlist-item. This will be fixed in a future version.\
-- Only MicroDVD, SubRIP, SSA1-4 and vplayer subtitle files are supported at the moment.\
-- Subs can only be added to .avi and .ogm movie files at the moment.\
-- Don't bug us asking for the features mentioned above.\
+\f0\b0 \ulnone - VLC will autodected subtitle files when they are in the same directory as your movie and contain the movie name.\
+- DVD and autodectected subtitles can be enabled trough the Controls->Subtitles menu-item.\
+- Only MicroDVD, SubRIP, SSA1-4. SAMI and vplayer subtitle files are supported at the moment.\
+- You cannot change anything about DVD subtitles.\
+- You can add subtitle files to a video file via the Open.. dialog as well.\
+- A text-encoding is automatically chosen, but for some people this can be incorrect. You can change it in Preferences -> Modules -> decoder -> subsdec\
+- Text subtitles are by default centered. If you want them to be aligned left or right you can change this in Preferences -> Modules -> decoder -> subsdec\
+- For Arabic, Hebrew and Japanese etc, you need to select a font compatible with these languages. You can change the default font in Preferences -> Modules -> text-renderer -> freetype\
+- You can change the fontsize in Preferences -> Modules -> text-renderer -> freetype\
+- You cannot change the font color or the thickness of the outlines.\

\
-\f1\b \ul 11. How do I enable deinterlacing ? \
-
-\f0\b0 \ulnone You must select the "Deinterlace" menu-item before opening any file. If the item is selected while reading a file, nothing will happen. This is a known issue, please do not report it.\

-If you want to use your second screen for fullscreen playback, then look at the Video->Screen menuitem. You can set this option permanently by going into the Preferences and choosing Interface->Interface module: Mac OXx->Configure->Video (You will need to choose "Show Advanced options" first).\

- AC3 over SPDIF with M-Audio Sonica Theater does not work. This is most likely a driver bug which has been reported to M-Audio.\
- Many problems might still exist. Multiple channel audio support is pretty new on Mac OS X and there are many bugs in the system software, the device drivers and probably in VLC media player as well.\
+- Someone with CoreAudio knowledge is very much invited to assist is in fixing all the bugs that linger in this area.\
